SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. F. A. CHAPMAN AND MR. A. N. BADE 


HIS interesting collection of books relating to printing, 
publishing and kindred subjects, comes from the Library 

of the Typothete of the City of New York, and from the 
Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type 
Founders Company in Jersey City. The Typothetz of the 
City of New York for many years maintained a library at their 
headquarters. The books were not used to any great extent 
by the members, however, largely because of the absence of 
an experienced librarian to take care of them. Eventually 
they were transferred to the Typographic Library in Jersey 
City and combined with its collection. When the combina- 
tion was made it was found that there were many duplicates. 
These are now placed on sale, so that in new homes they may 


bring pleasure and profit to those who secure them.

THE BIBLIOGRAPHER 














Lke ‘Rarest California 'Beok 


In the American ‘Library of the late Wil- 
liam H. Winters, for*many: years, up to the 
time of his death, librarian of the New 
‘York Law Inétitute, which is to be sola 
at the Anderson Gallerfes on..March 8 and 
9, @ little book was discovered which has 
the distinction: of being the rarest Cali- 
fornta, item in the world; the first book. 
printed in San Francisco, and the first 
and only copy ever to have appeared in the 
auction room, or even to have been seen 
by. noted bibliographers and collectors. It 
is: “Laws "for the Better Government o' 
California,” the Preservation of Order, an 
the -Protection‘.of the Rights of the In- 
habitants,.during the Military Occupation 
of the Country: by the Forces of the United 
States. By Authority of R. B. Mason, 
Colonel] First Drags. and Goverrior. :Print- 
ed’ in. San: Francisco, at the press of §, 
Brannan, 1848,” 
‘ When the library of Mr. Winters.-was 
‘consigned to the Anderson Galleries for 
sale, it was believed, that there would be 
many interesting vélumes for the collector 
pnd. libraries found in it, but such a prize 
as: this little volume of “Laws” was. un- 
thought of. With the customary. examina- 
tion by the cataloguing departmeht of even 
the“ most unpromising bundles of pam- 

phiets, clippings, etc,, early in the work this 
little hook wag unearthéd, loosely laid in 
with a.mgss of excerpts’ from magazines— 
@ gem among papers of .no commercial 
value. Immediately it was known that 
hére/ was a “find” of the most interesting 
character, the valug of which loomed large 
both historically ‘and commercially. As the 
research work in connection with the cata- 
loguing of this precious piece progressed it 
became apparént that this was.in all proba- 
bility the only copy known to date, as Hu- 
bert’'H. Bancroft, the exhaustive writer on 
the West, had never seen a copy, and only ree 
fers to it, having seen a notice of it in The 
Californian for Sept. 2, 1848. The Jatest 
bibliopraphy of California imprints, by Wag- 
mer, does not record it, a mention of such 
a work being the only intimation that the 
book existed. -Further it was discovered 
that the copy was originally owned by 
Captain Folsom, he who first announced to 
the Government .the discovery of ‘gold in 
California, and on the margin of the title- 
page he has written “Act published in con- 
sequence of the news of Peace. J. L. 
Folsom.”
